Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 340 The Second Assistant Youth Lecture Hall

Xu Lingyue followed the beautiful woman with a strong aura into the elevator in a daze.

It was not until she saw the four numbers "-1", "-2", "1" and "50" on the wall of the elevator that Xu Lingyue realized that this was actually a special elevator that went directly to the 50th floor.

"I'm Jiang Qingkui."

At this time, the beautiful woman took the initiative to extend her hand and smiled at the slightly reserved Xu Lingyue, "We should have met in the lobby of Douyin Group. I have some impression..."

After being reminded by Jiang Qingkui, Xu Lingyue suddenly remembered something. She exclaimed in a low voice: "Ah, you are the one who came with Mr. Zhou... Mr. Zhou..."

"Well, I'm his secretary."

Jiang Qingkui nodded slightly.

secretary?

Xu Lingyue was very shocked. She thought Jiang Qingkui should be Zhou Wang's partner or something like that. After all, the other party's outfit alone should cost at least hundreds of thousands.

Xu Lingyue couldn't recognize anything else, but the pair of YSL black crystal satin high heels on Jiang Qingkui's feet must have cost at least 20,000 or 30,000 yuan...

She had even made up her mind to save up half a year's salary to buy a pair!

Unlike boys, women are usually willing to spend the least money on shoes among all parts of their body. According to this ratio, Jiang Qingkui's skirt, shirt and shiny watch will only be more expensive.

After being stunned for a moment, Xu Lingyue quickly nodded to Jiang Qingkui, "Ms. Jiang... Miss Jiang, how did you recognize me?"

"In addition to being Mr. Zhou's secretary, I am also responsible for handling the daily affairs of Wangzhou Culture, so I reviewed the resume you sent to the company's email address, and I also sent you the interview invitation..."

After Jiang Qingkui explained it, Xu Lingyue finally understood the underlying cause and effect.

But she was a little surprised. So this Miss Jiang was both a secretary and the general manager of the company?
"Ms. Xu, after reading your information, there is only one thing I don't quite understand. Can you tell me the reason?"

"what?"

"You have only been in Douyin Group for less than three months, and you have already completed the transfer from the front desk to the operations department. Logically speaking, your future in Douyin Group is also bright. Why did you suddenly want to resign and join a little-known company like Wangzhou Culture?"

Jiang Qingkui said this, staring at Xu Lingyue with his bright eyes.

"I……"

Xu Lingyue was at a loss for words at first, then she sorted out the words she had prepared before and answered, "Although Douyin is a large company, I don't think it fits in with my future life plan. On the contrary, there are more possibilities for me to join Wangzhou Culture. I have carefully read the development history of your company..."

Xu Lingyue talked a lot, and Jiang Qingkui listened quietly, with no expression on his face.

After she finally finished speaking, Jiang Qingkui suddenly asked, "I saw your resume. Are you also from Jingcheng?"

"Uh, yes..."

Xu Lingyue felt inexplicably guilty. At this moment, with a "ding" sound, the elevator reached the 50th floor.

The elevator door opened, and after the property manager blocked the door with a flattering smile, Jiang Qingkui took Miao Ying out first. Xu Lingyue breathed a sigh of relief, only to find that a lot of sweat had seeped out of her palms without her noticing.

After everyone got out of the elevator, Xu Lingyue hurried out as well.

There was a burst of noise, and before my eyes was an extremely lively scene——

In the hollow hall decorated in golden and black tones and with an artificial fountain, a group of decorators are doing the final finishing work. On the scaffolding, several workers are pulling up a nameplate hung with red silk, and the four large characters "Jingwang Club" can be vaguely seen.

On the other side, next to the sign that says "Members only", there is a small area isolated, next to which is a nameplate with the words "Wangzhou Culture Beidu Branch".

At this time, in the reception area behind the company's glass door, there were already dozens of young men and women holding resumes waiting. They were obviously today's job applicants. What surprised Xu Lingyue a little was that she saw Huang Duming was also in the crowd, directing several staff members to maintain order.

Huang Duming looked particularly high-spirited today, wearing an obviously expensive navy blue suit and a pair of shiny black leather shoes. He looked very different from before, and Xu Lingyue was a little stunned.

At this time, Huang Duming also saw Xu Lingyue. He was startled for a moment, then walked over in surprise and asked in a low voice: "Schoolmate, why are you here? You...you know Miss Jiang?"

"No, we just met by chance. She invited me to take the elevator with her...Brother Huang, how could you..."

"I am now Mr. Zhou's assistant. By the way, you know Mr. Zhou, right? He is the owner who received the house you met last time in Beidu No. 1 Courtyard..."

Huang Duming explained with a smile.

In fact, Huang Duming was vaguely aware in his heart that the relationship between Xu Lingyue and Zhou Wang might not be that simple.

He is not a fool. Last time, Xu Lingyue almost ran away from Zhou Wang's house crying. And Xu Lingyue's purpose in going to find him that time was probably not that simple.

But Huang Duming knew very well about what he should play dumb about, so his smile at this moment was very natural and did not let Xu Lingyue notice anything unusual.

It was Xu Lingyue herself who blushed slightly when she thought of what happened before.

However, Xu Lingyue, who had figured it out, quickly regained her normal expression and nodded, "Yeah, I remember that, Senior Brother Huang, congratulations. I think this should be a very good job."

Xu Lingyue's envy was genuine. After all, she had just seen how Jiang Qingkui, who was only Zhou Wang's secretary, had such good material conditions. Although Huang Duming was definitely not as good as Miss Jiang, he was also someone close to Zhou Wang. I dare not say anything else, but his "money prospects" must be limitless...

Sure enough, the next second, even with Huang Duming's calm personality, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

"Mr. Zhou is indeed a very good boss. When I just started working, he asked the finance department to give me a sum of money so that I could sort myself out. Moreover, the benefits of the position are better than those I received at a multinational company like Colliers International. At least I didn't receive an annuity when I was at Colliers..."

"Brother Huang, can I ask you how much you are earning now?"

Xu Lingyue couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked in a low voice.

Huang Duming hesitated for a moment, and thought about it. Miss Jiang didn't seem to have said anything about keeping it confidential, so he answered truthfully: "My current base salary is 26,000 a month, and bonuses are not included... Junior sister, do you know how my salary is determined?"

"How do you calculate it?"

"When I went to interview Ms. Jiang, she asked me how much I was paid per month. I said my total salary was about 12,000 yuan per month. Then Ms. Jiang said, 'You don't even reach the average salary in Beijing...'"

Huang Duming was still a little embarrassed when he talked about this topic, and then he smiled bitterly and said, "Then Miss Jiang asked Mr. Zhou for instructions, and he set a base salary for me, saying that it should be twice the average salary in Beidu at first, and then adjusted depending on the situation."

Xu Lingyue also found it a little funny when she heard this.

The average salary in Beijing is indeed around 13,000 yuan, but even in such a city, how many people's monthly income can really exceed this line?

The so-called average means that about 90% of the people are "averaged" by the remaining group of high-income earners.

Huang Duming is actually good enough.

Two years after graduation, I became a supervisor in a property management company that has international connections. With food and accommodation provided, I have already established myself in Beijing. Except for the fact that buying a house is not realistic, at least I have no problems in my daily life.

When she was working as a receptionist at Douyin, her expected monthly income was between 6000 and 8000 yuan.

Although this income is not impressive in Beijing, it is already the envy of many of her peers. After all, she has just graduated. But for Xu Lingyue herself, the money becomes tight after paying the rent. She hasn't bought herself decent new clothes for a long time...

With Zhou Wang's help, she was transferred to the operations department. Her monthly income would definitely soar in the future. However, Zhou Wang was part of the reason why Xu Lingyue chose to interview at Wangzhou Culture. The more important reason was...

Just like she and Jiang Qingkui said, there are more possibilities here.

Just look at Wangzhou Culture's recruitment advertisement in Beidu and you will know that the starting salary for the lowest-level staff is 10K+, and they are all equipped with six insurances and two funds. If they have worked for a certain number of years or have made outstanding achievements, they will be directly given a housing subsidy in any city according to the proportion...

She believed that Zhou Wang would not joke about such a thing. After what happened last time, she now had great trust in Zhou Wang's "character", and even had a little blind admiration for him.

The next second, Huang Duming started talking to her about this topic.

"Junior, if you are here for an interview, you must be prepared. The competition is quite fierce. I just took a quick look and found that there are even several master's students who graduated from famous universities..."

Listening to Huang Duming's instructions, Xu Lingyue also became nervous.

She had not contacted Zhou Wang before coming here. Her idea was very simple. Regardless of whether Zhou Wang knew about it or not, she wanted to enter Wangzhou Culture through her own efforts.

There was also some desire to prove something to that man...

Just when Xu Lingyue was about to ask something, Jiang Qingkui, who had just finished inspecting the new clubhouse that was being renovated, came back with the sound of high heels "tapping".

With her arrival, all the interviewees, who saw her extraordinary status, stood up subconsciously.

Jiang Qingkui walked through the crowd expressionlessly, but stopped just before entering the office. She found Xu Lingyue and waved at her:

"You come first."

"Me?" Xu Lingyue was stunned for a moment, and at the hint from Huang Duming beside her, she hurried over.

After entering the office, Miao Ying, who was wearing a high ponytail, closed the door. Jiang Qingkui sat down behind the desk. She simply flipped through the resumes that had been sorted out on the desk and said,

"From what I've seen about your job search intentions, it seems like you don't have any specific job target?"

"Well, yes, I am willing to obey the company's arrangements, any position is fine..."

"But you have almost no work experience. To be honest, I'm afraid there is no suitable position for you in Wangzhou Culture."

"Ah, but I..."

Xu Lingyue didn't expect that the interview would end just as it began. She was disappointed and wanted to argue, but felt powerless.

Because as Jiang Qingkui said, compared with other job applicants, she really has no advantages.

"There is another position that I think is suitable for you. Are you interested?"

"What position?"

Xu Lingyue's eyes suddenly lit up and she asked quickly.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"My assistant."

"You...your assistant?"

Xu Lingyue didn't expect that Jiang Qingkui would offer her such a position, and was caught off guard for a moment.

"You can rest assured about the salary and benefits. They will not be worse than those of ordinary employees in the company. In addition, there are some potential benefits to being with me... As long as you follow my arrangements and work hard to improve yourself, maybe one day you can get what you really want."

Jiang Qingkui's deep eyes could not reveal his joy or anger, but for some reason, Xu Lingyue always felt that there was a lot of deep meaning in Jiang Qingkui's words.

"Then...I'm willing to give it a try."

After boldly asking a few more questions, Xu Lingyue finally nodded.

"Then come and report to me after you have completed the handover with your previous company. The sooner the better. We have a lot of things to do, and you will be busy next."

When Jiang Qingkui talked about this topic, a hint of fatigue appeared between his brows.

"Um...Um, Sister Qingkui, I want to ask..."

"Do you want to ask why I didn't see Mr. Zhou?"

As soon as Xu Lingyue opened her mouth, Jiang Qingkui seemed to know what she wanted to ask. He interrupted her and stretched his waist lazily.

Having her thoughts exposed, Xu Lingyue nodded embarrassedly.

"Our boss, who is not very serious, basically never comes to the company unless there is something important. As for now, he is probably still showing off at Peking University..."

"what?"

……

"I don't really like money. Apart from the necessity of survival, money is just a means to achieve my ideals and ambitions..."

In the crowded large lecture hall, with young faces and thick glasses, these highly intelligent students who are destined to shine in all walks of life in the future are sitting in their seats, listening attentively to the speech from a shameless and handsome young man on the stage.

A banner was hung above the classroom with slogans such as "Grand opening of the first Peking University Youth Lecture Hall" and "Confessions of China's youngest billionaire" written on it.

Click!Click!
In addition to some specially invited media, Lin Ran was also directing three photographers in different positions to capture every high-spirited moment of Zhou Wang on the stage, as well as the students in the audience giving positive feedback.

The atmosphere at the scene was surprisingly good. Of course, this was also related to the fact that all the students present today came voluntarily.

Since they were a group that was interested in Zhou Wang, they naturally would not be stingy with their applause and screams.

When it came to the all-important free question session, Zhou Wang performed extremely well, switching between multiple languages ​​at will, coming up with all kinds of witty remarks, and demonstrating on the spot his abnormal memory after acquiring the "quantum reading" skill, which caused a group of students to sigh in admiration.

Otherwise, how could he make so much money? Just for his talent, he deserves it.

Lin Ran on the sidelines was also fascinated. After the nearly one and a half hour lecture was over, she was the first to go up and handed the chilled Oriental Leaf in her hand to Zhou Wang.

"How am I doing?"

Zhou Wang took the drink and took a sip, then asked with a smile.

"Awesome……"

Lin Ran smiled and gave his praise generously.

“That should be enough material for the next video, right?”

Zhou Wang asked again with concern.

Although Zhou Wang had to participate in the promotional activities at Beidu University due to personal relationships, it was undeniable that it was completely beneficial to him.

One aspect is that the material for the next short video update is directly available...

"Yeah, that's enough. We'll go to other places on campus later to take some introduction shots."

Lin Ran, who had rushed to Beidu with a photographer overnight, nodded.

Zhou Wang was about to answer when two shy girls came to him and asked for his autograph. He had to stop temporarily and sign for the two girls first.

What made Zhou Wang smack his lips was that one of the girls asked him to sign his name directly on her T-shirt. The soft touch made it difficult to write...

At this time, Zhou Wang suddenly understood why many celebrities loved to publish books. He felt that one of the reasons might be that it was convenient to have a proper carrier when signing.

While wondering if he should also publish a book, Zhou Wang asked casually after the two girls left: "Sister Ran, have you signed the personnel contract with Jiang Qingkui?"

"Yes, I signed it this morning. I have also completed the handover of Wuyou Media. I hope Boss Zhou will take care of me in the future~"

Lin Ran smiled and winked at Zhou Wang, showing his mature charm.

After Zhou Wang's proposal, Lin Ran, who had been waiting for this day for a long time, resigned without saying a word. After her personnel relationship was transferred to Wangzhou Culture this morning, she has become Zhou Wang's second personal assistant after Xu Wenxi.

Although Huang Duming is nominally a work assistant, Zhou Wang wants to train him into a capable subordinate and hand over all the affairs of the Beidu section to him, so he is not included.

"Strange……"

At this time Zhou Wang muttered something.

"what happened?"

"Oh, nothing. Let's go first. I'll go say hello to Dean Li and Professor Chen."

Zhou Wang came back to his senses, waved at Lin Ran, and walked aside.

What puzzled him was that, although he had successfully recruited Lin Ran, the system prompt did not sound. In theory, four-fifths of the third round of action should have been completed.

It was not until he drove away from Peking University that Zhou Wang felt that he had figured something out.

The original system requirements stated that the recruited talents had to "cover all aspects of life and work." If so, it might be because Lin Ran's "assistant" position overlapped with Xu Wenxi's, so it was not calculated into the round progress by the system.

Thinking of this, Zhou Wang felt somewhat helpless.

Apart from the bodyguard who has yet to be found, the only suitable recruitment target is probably Qi Jiayi, the senior partner of Yunshangyun Law Firm.

But the woman's conditions were too good, and Zhou Wang was not completely sure...

"Boss, shall we go back to the company now? Qingkui said that her recruitment has ended, and she also needs you to inspect the decoration of the club..."

Lin Ran's voice brought Zhou Wang back to reality.

He thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to Yihua Hutong first. Also, help me contact someone and ask her to rush over now. Tell her that I have something important to discuss with her."
